When Trying Isn't Enough... [Closed/Backdated to May 31st]
Characters: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne (oathshackledbird ) and Ryoji Mochizuki (notsogrimreaper )
Setting Room 4-16, backdated to late on the 31st of May
Format: Any
Summary: Sadly, despite their best efforts, Diarmuid and Yukiko were unable to stop Sephiroth from making Ryoji kill himself in this thread. Now Diarmuid waits for Ryoji to 'wake up' so that they can talk about what happened.
Warnings: Mentions of death, suicide and mind control. Will update if needed!
He's been waiting. Ever since he and Yukiko had failed to save Ryoji from Sephiroth's manipulations, Diarmuid has been waiting for Ryoji's return. He knows better than to interfere with the unit returning Ryoji's body. In fact, around the time he is due to return, Diarmuid drops into spirit form rendering himself invisible to the normal eye to make sure that his presence in the room doesn't cause any problems. Once the unit has come and gone, he returns to solid form and moves to the side of the boy's bed. He settles on the edge of the bed and, after a moment, starts to stroke Ryoji's hair.
Diarmuid has no idea how long it will be until Ryoji wakes up nor how much sleep paralysis the boy will have to wait through. There is so much he wants to say--so much he wants to tell the boy--but for now he does what any person who has had to watch someone so close to them hurt so badly. He gathers the boy carefully into his arms and begins rocking him.
Eventually, soft words fill the air. A lullaby sung in Ancient Gaelic. One followed by another until the time comes for the boy to wake up...

"No, I didn't think you didn't want to spend time with me! I understand if you're busy, after all. I'm just not sure what I really want to do. There are too many people I want to reassure, let them know I'm okay now. I probably worried them when I was acting so strange...
"It's probably for the best if I focus on eating first. Then I'll have the energy to look around some more. I hope I find Yukiko soon, though..."

Ryoji slides himself off of the bed and approaches Diarmuid with a shy smile. He's lucky to have someone who is this determined to look out for him. Neither Diarmuid nor Yukiko need to do this... but it feels nice all the same.
"I know we'll find Yukiko. This place is big, but I have a feeling it shouldn't be too hard to find her."
They're connected, after all, just like him and Diarmuid. He can't let Yukiko believe he's gone any longer than he truly is.
Do you think this is about wrapped up?
Yeah, for sure! <3
W-Wait, don't ask her anything too embarrassing! You know she's kind of shy!"
Or maybe he's just embarrassed... Still, Ryoji smiles through his protests, even as they head out into the hallway.
:-D
